By the time the funding application is submitted students must have also applied for a place to study. This application is submitted via the University of Nottingham online system at ss-pgr-upw@nottingham.ac.uk.

Please note: references only need to be submitted when you apply for a place to study – you do not need to submit them again when applying for studentship funding. For this reason, please ensure that your referees are aware that what they write will also be used to assess your funding application and that they are aware of the deadline for submission of references.
